Husband's Letters: Dear Mrs. Loerke, this weekend we had lunch at Wild About Harry's. I love it that you'll eat a hot dog with me even when we're not at the ballpark or camping. Dear New Puter, even though you are a hand-me-down from Emma, you are a million times better than the old PC I used during PA school. So glad to officially be a Mac-man! Dear Indirect Heat Grilling, you are now my secret to consistent, mouth-watering meat that doesn't taste burnt. Just call me Timmy Flay! Dear Emma, I know Christmas is not about gifts, but I can't wait for you to open your present. It will be a miracle if I don't tell you what it is before Christmas!

Over and out,
Tim

Is it hard for anyone else to keep your gifts a secret? Em has tight lips like a Russian Spy. I almost always spill the beans.

I can keep my lips sealed, but just barely! I love giving gifts and I get so excited for people to open their presents. It's especially hard when someone says they're going to go out and look at the gift I already got them at the store - that's when I really want to say something. But I love the element of surprise more :)

Oh my its so hard for us. We do not have kids and are both suffering from "instant gratification" - even when giving to others. We go shopping together, he stays on upper level of mall and I am on lower. We then swap. When we get to the car, we both cant stop smiling and at least one of us has to fight off the other from just handing over the bags. Daily he asks to give me my gifts...Its such a joy seeing those we love open gifts!

Tim, it's the same way at our house! I can always keep presents a secret and my dear hubs has the worst time keeping presents a secret! He doesn't always tell...he just hints a lot. I think that makes him feel like he's not telling me but he still gets to let the secret out. :)

Dude, not to be lame talking about fb here, but I just made a status about buying gifts early and how i can't STAND waiting. I got my roommates REALLY good gifts too, and super cute wrapping paper for the dollar store (HOLLER)...okay that's all

Its so hard for me to keep it a secret!! Especially when I know that its something that will knock their socks off! I got my husband a GPS watch (he's a runner) for his birthday and I absolutely can't wait for him to open it!

I try to keep gifts a secret and for the most part, I can keep my lips sealed. My husband on the other hand is weak. If we start talking about gifts he has to leave the room because he know he will tell me. It's a fun game we play, I guess, he smiles, BAM I know what my gift will be! Good luck keeping your gifts secret.

Tim and I have been married for 13 years. We like to dance in our jammers, sleep late in the biscuit, build forts, write each other letters, fly fish, and travel. We also have a little babe named Brave who smells mostly like breast milk and fabric softener. (more)
